Isolation Procedure vs. Conventional Procedure During Distal Pancreatectosplenectomy for Pancreatic Cancer (ISOP-DP)

October 22, 2020 updated by: Hiroki Yamaue, Wakayama Medical University

Randomized Controlled Phase II Study of Isolation Procedure Versus Conventional Procedure in Distal Pancreatosplenectomy for Pancreatic Cancer

In the distal pancreatectomy (including pancreatic tail resection) for invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas, we evaluate the usefulness of a procedure of firstly transection of splenic arteries and veins (the isolation procedure group) compared to a conventional procedure of transection of the splenic vein at the end.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  • ASA-PS (American Society of Anesthesiology, General condition classification) is Class 1-3.
  • Age are over 20 years old.
  • Able to understand the content of the research and has obtained written consent from the person himself/herself.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Non-resectable pancreatic cancer by image diagnosis at the initial diagnosis

Other: Conventional procedure
In the conventional procedure group, first, the pancreatic body and tail and spleen are mobilized (mandatory procedure), and the regional lymph nodes of the body and tail of the pancreas, such as the hepatoduodenal mesentery (No12 lymph node) and the common hepatic artery perimeter (No8), are removed. (Recommended procedure) and dissection of lymph nodes (No14p) around SMA (Recommended procedure), and after dissection of the gastro-splenic ligament and pancreas, transection of the splenic vein at the end of the resection procedure (required procedure) . However, in order to prevent bleeding and secure a safe field of view, early pancreatotomy is allowed.
Procedure: Isolation procedure (RAMPS procedure)
In the Isolation procedure group, the transection of the root of the splenic artery and the pancreatic transection are performed first, followed by the transection of the splenic vein (mandatory procedure). At that time, the branch from the splenic artery (dorsal pancreatic artery), the branch to the splenic vein (left gastric vein, inferior mesenteric vein), and short gastric arteriovenous are also disconnected as soon as possible (recommended procedure). An operation to lift up the pancreatic neck from the dorsal portal vein or superior mesenteric artery to expose the splenic vein (so-called tunneling) is allowed. After that, lymph node dissection such as hepatoduodenal mesentery (No12), common hepatic artery perimeter (No8), lymph node dissection around SMA (No14p) was performed (recommended procedure), and at the end of the resection operation, the pancreas body/tail and spleen are mobilized and removed (required procedure).

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
